Fourteen mile walk with West Lancs LDWA on Tuesday and 20 mile walk (Spanners Round) with East Lancs LDWA on Sunday. Currently updating the walk instruction in readiness for publication on the net - the original booklet is about 13 years old.
A quick run up Winter Hill and down towards the Wrights Arms on Thursday preceded the main run of the week where I accompanied 5 of the Saturday morning group for a nice little saunter up Wetherlam, Swirl How and Coniston Old Man along with other assorted peaks on the Coniston Massif. The main purpose was to give John a run out for route choice for the following week's English Championship fell race. Only 12 miles but nearly 5000 ft of ascent altogether and 5 hours out on the Lakeland Fells. Rather than repeat what is on the group's blog here is the link to all the reports and pics -
NLN's report and loads of photos
More Photos - from me
the route log
Even More
And for more views of the scenery and how the faster runners deal with the terrain, there is an excellent video of the following week's race posted up on youtube.
Overall for the week I accumulated 57 miles and 9600ft of ascent - considerably above schedule for and almost completing mileage target for the month whilst the ascent target was surpassed by nearly 20% - very happy.
